                       1.  If you want to create a pencil holder in Tinkercad, which shapes would you combine and how?

                       2.  How can  changing  the  height  and  width  of a  cylinder  in  Tinkercad  make  it  look  like  a  coin  or
                          a drum?

                      In this chapter, you will learn how circuits work by creating simple projects like lighting up
                      LEDs and using switches in Tinkercad. You will also discover how microcontrollers and Arduino
                      control these circuits.

                             WHAT IS A CIRCUIT?

                      A  circuit is  a pathway  for electricity  to  flow.  It is  made up  of different
                      electrical components that are connected to allow electric current to pass
                      through.  Circuits  are used  in  electronic  devices, robots  and  machines  to
                      make them work.

                      TYPES OF CIRCUITS
                      There are two main types of circuits:

                                             Series Circuit

                                             In  a series  circuit,  all  components  are connected  in a single path. The
                                             electricity flows through each component one by one. If one component
                                             fails or is turned off, the entire circuit is interrupted. For example, if one bulb
                                             in Christmas lights goes out, all the lights turn off.

                      Parallel Circuit

                      A parallel circuit has multiple paths for electricity to flow. Each component is
                      connected to its own independent path. If one component stops working, the
                      others continue to function. For example, in a house, if one light bulb burns out,
                      the other lights stay on.

                             TINKERCAD CIRCUIT

                      Tinkercad Circuit is an online simulation tool that allows users to design, build and test electronic
                      circuits without using physical components. It is part of Tinkercad, a beginner-friendly platform by
                      Autodesk for learning electronics, coding and 3D design.
